I am now a professional writer!! Just kidding, I'm nowhere near a professional writer still.
As always, feel free to provide feedback via message, comment or emailing me. To show how not a professional writer I am, I neglected to mention in part one that this a continuation of characters from most of my other stories. It's not required to read those stories, but without the background from those, this set of stories may seem odd.
Also, I'm looking into finding some ladies to help me edit my stories as I already have a handful of guys who help me. If interested, send me an email or message me.
As always, thank you for reading my stories.
I slowly hold my cell phone up to my ear and speak in to it tentatively, inwardly preparing for the worst "hello?"
"Hi D, it's Diane, one of the nurses. I wanted to let you know that there's been a break through with your wife, she is starting to move, so we're hoping it's just a matter of time until she is awake."
Surprised by the news, I thanked the nurse, hung up and stood there, staring at my phone with thoughts running through my head, with the back of my mind vaguely acknowledging Dana touching my arm and asking what is going on. SHE'S GOING TO BE OK!! SHE'S GETTING BETTER!! Suddenly, I exclaim excitedly, "I need to get down to the hospital. Like right now!!" And dash off, leaving Dana in the kitchen. I run upstairs and change in what seems like record time and sprint out the door.
Dana catches up to me as I'm hopping in the car, and we sat in silence as it feels like I break the land speed record to get to the hospital, find a parking spot and am in Jessica's room by her side. Her eyes are still closed, but I can see her fingers flexing slightly as well as her lips move slightly. I give her forehead a gentle kiss, whisper how much I love her and then go to sit in the chair.
A few minutes later, Dana walks through the door and says "hey there Speed Racer, thanks for leaving me in the dust," in a teasing tone.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I was just so excited, I couldn't wait to get back," as I turn red from embarrassment.
She giggles, saying "sweetie, it's fine. I'd have done the same if I was in your shoes," while she sits on the stool on the other side of the bed from my beautiful wife.
Sitting forward slightly in my chair, I reach over and take my wife's hand in mine as I look at her and take it all in. Jessica with her breathing tube, hooked up to a ventilator, the pulse ox hooked up to her finger and the heart monitor also hooked with its various leads. She looks so tiny in the big hospital bed, it's an overwhelming sight and I break down a little, a few tears streaming down my face, just wishing everything was back to normal.
